Because Republicans ran weak and incompetent candidates in 2008 and 2012, Democrats elected a liberal extremist, Barack Obama, president. But there is no way a conservative extremist will make it to the White House. And the GOP extremists already are stumbling into oblivion:

Jindal's denial of the Moocher Nation makes him toast before he leaves the bakery.

Christie's toast because he re-elected Obama.

Rubio's toast because he denies evolution.

Ryan's just personhood toast.

Santorum's burnt toast because he's Rick Santorum.

Jeb Bush not only is a Bush, but he's an easily demonized anti-women, anti-gay Bush.

Everyone of these guys is a Big Intrusive Government Republican who can be beat by any mediocre Democrat, I fear.
